For sale is a 1997 Volvo 850R in white with a tan interior. Feel free to check the KBB for this car, it's higher than you probably think...I took some off the price to pay for any repairs it may need when purchased.
5 Cylinder Turbocharged 2.3L Engine. Stock Turbo, DP, and Exhaust.
This is a very neatly kept car for a 1997 and everyone who has seen it has raved about how nice the interior is for the year. I almost want to take the seats for my new car. It has approximately ~120,000 miles on the odometer which stopped sometime between when it stopped being driven and now.
It is in a very rare condition for the car, was babied and kept neat for the time that I owned it. It is quite the quick and fun vehicle and I am extremely sad to have to sell it, but it is time.
The Good:
-Mechanically Sound Engine + Turbo
-Low Mileage for the Year
-2 Owner car. I bought it at 104,000 to give you an idea of how much I actually drove it.
-FULL maintenance logs and receipts from the time I owned it, previous owner also kept logs of maintenance, but I do not have the receipts from those. (This is arranged neatly in a binder for the next owner of the car.)
-New silicon hoses as the old black OEM ones were a little on the rough side, should last a very long time.
-Maintenance work done when I first got the car at 104,000 to get it in the absolute best shape it could be in.
-Stock Premium Audio System that sounds better than my 2013 car does.
-Sunroof Visor
-Brand new spark plugs, spark plug wires, dist. cap, and rotor.
-If bought at my "buy it now" price I will include a ST USA ECU for the car as well if you want it and also some extra Oil I had lying around for the next Oil change it needed.
The Bad:
-A/C Leak, I used to just recharge it with a can from AutoZone every so often.
-Needs some brake work, ones on it now are pretty worn.
-Currently needs a battery, the one in it is dead at the moment.
-Wheels have some scuffing and chipping in a few places.
-Some of the black lining is coming up above where the doors are, heat got to it, kept the interior extremely protected though.
See pictures for full cosmetic condition.
Message me with your questions/offer/phone number if you need to talk, or feel free to ask questions through email as I am rather busy and that is the fastest way to get a response.
Please note: the car has been sitting for a while so this is what I remember of it, it is being sold AS-IS and I hold no responsibility for forgetting or not seeing something myself during my inspection of it. I try to be as honest as possible so please try to do the same. No "I'll send you a cashier check for X more to give extra to the driver because I'm a scammer" BS, please go elsewhere with that.

2015 Volvo XC90
Wed, 27 Aug 2014
The new XC90 isn't just about the new XC90 - it's as much about the new generation of Volvos that will result.
Around the turn of the millennium, Volvo seemed like the perfect automaker to make a crossover. It had, after all, already established for itself a reputation for building all-wheel-drive wagons for transporting families in safety and comfort. But while its competitors marched one by one into the luxury utility market, Volvo held out. That was, anyway, until the debut of the original XC90 in 2002. And it's never looked back since.
Volvo debuts new Drive-E four-cylinder engines
Fri, 16 Aug 2013
Volvo is introducing a new engine family based on its new Drive-E philosophy, which encompasses "all innovations made to reduce the impact on the environment," the automaker says. Less cylinders allows for less environmental impact, so the new engines are all four-pots. They also were designed to pair easily with Volvo's upcoming hybrid drive system, which "will reach power figures in the V8 territory" and play a "dominant part of the top end of [Volvo's] range," says Derek Crabb, Vice President Powertrain Engineering. Volvo also says we can expect "power curves that give exciting drivability compared with engines with more cylinders."
Volvo says some versions of the engine were designed targeting best-in-class fuel economy. There are both gasoline and diesel options, but the latter of which isn't scheduled for US consumption. Instead, the US will be offered two states of tune of the gasoline Drive-E engine for front-wheel-drive vehicles. Some of Volvo's current all-wheel-drive powertrains will remain available in the US until the company has transitioned solely to the new, fuel-efficient inline-fours.
Polestar says goodbye to Volvo C30 in video tribute
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The Volvo C30 was put to its eternal bed a few months ago, but the tuners at Polestar have a little more eulogizing to do. The Swedish house of speed that has raced and reworked the little hatch since its introduction in 2006 wants the world to know what they've been through together, so it has encapsulated seven years of around-the-world action into three minutes and 28 seconds of track footage and champagne.
We're still waiting on word of a replacement for the funny little hatch, and while we lament what could have been, the video below proves that the C30 provided plenty of thrills for those outside of the US. And as you can read in our recent review of the Polestar-enhanced road-going C30, it provided a decent amount of fun for those of us in the States, as well.
